I wanted brett farve to beat the saints and then win it in the super bowl and then retire a happy man.
I guarantee you he'll retire happy regardless if he wins the superbowl in his last game or if he puts up a negative QB rating. He got paid millions to play the sport he loves for a large chunk of his life and will retire as one of the best QBs to ever play the game.
well there are really on three options for the overtime issue.
1) Keep it as is.
2) Play overtime quarters, 10min or 15 min, a just play forever is need to be, I don't think that realistic though, football is too brutal a game for that to happen, its not like baseball or Basketball or even Hockey.
3) Play 1 quarter, then SD overtime, this system make the only real sense, even of that extra quater were shortened to 10 mins, of course the first team to manage a 10 minute drive that ends in a 25 yard field goal will have every one complaining.
-- The College system is absolute trash and maybe the worst idea ever.
-- removing FGs or kickers is also silly, why not just make the OT 7 on 7 drills,
-- the, if-then, concept of giveing both teams a possestion if one team scores on the first drive is also silly, for every obvious reason.
Keep it as is. Many people have shown that winning the coin flip is not a huge advantage. Essentially, once you are in overtime, the result is basically a coin flip anyway because winning in any overtime format indicates luck, not the quality of the teams. The current format highlights the importance of luck, but it doesn't really matter.
I still like this option.
It not only eliminates the coin flip, it also gives teams like the Colts and Saints a reason to want to go 16-0.
that does make sense, although it is essence "no change", as the whole "first team get the ball always wins and it not fair" crowd will still have the same.
But something like that seems the most reasonable type of change that the NFL would make, despite the fact it is more fair it keeps the same basic issue.
